Tai walked his sister to school. They arrived at the entrance and Tai saw TK waving them over. Kari waved but didn't leave Tai's side. Tai lightly pushed on his sisters back.
"I promise I'll be nice. Go say hello TKs probably been worried about you." Kari scrunched up her nose,
"what are you talking about Tai?" She asked. Tai rolled his eyes,
"just don't be kissing in front of me." He commented. Kari didn't move. Tai looked down at her and saw she was beat red in the face.
"What's up with you?" He asked wondering why his sister was acting strange.
"Tai!" Tai heard Matt and turned to his friend.
"Matt! Good you're here I need to talk to you." Matt waved over Tai's head,
"Squirt! What's up?" Matt asked to Tai. Tai watched Tk walk over to them and awkwardly greet Kari. Tai then pointed at the two younger teens.
"What's wrong with them?" Tai asked addressing what he felt was the obvious. Matt shrugged,
"I'm not sure what you mean?" Tai frowned,
"I thought... TK and Kari..." he stopped unable to finish. He then looked sternly at Matt,
"what can you remember?" Matt looked caught off guard.
"uhh, we defeated Daemon. The digimon we're sent back to the digital world and the balance was restored." Tai nodded,
"and Kari? I mean what about her?" Tai asked hoping his friend would remember what Kari seemed to be missing. Matt squinted,
"I'm not sure? I mean she went to the dark world to get you back." Tai felt defeated someone had to remember! He turned to face TK.
"Teeks you got mad at me do you remember why!?" TK looked a little stunned,
"I did?" He asked and Kari stepped in front of TK staring at Tai.
"Tai you've been off all morning." She still had red in her cheeks as she moved her chin towards TK,
"why'd you think I'd..." she looked down,
"kiss TK?" She mumbled. Tai looked to TK who looked flushed. He then looked to Matt.
"Somethings wrong. This isn't right." Matt crossed his arms,
"you said it. Why are you trying to play match maker?" Tai groaned,
"no that's not, I'm not-" he stopped
"somethings missing from our memories. I-" he stopped and looked at his sister. She no longer looked embarrassed but concerned. Tai stopped and looked at Matt.
"Never mind. You two look after each other." Tai said to his sister and TK. He continued, "Kari just call me if you feel... anything strange. I'll walk you home after school." Kari blinked,
"Tai?" Tai smirked and stepped away from the junior high.
"Let's go Matt." Tai turned and started walking. He knew he was acting strange but the more he thought about the missing memories the more he thought, maybe we're better off without remembering everything. Matt joined him and the two walked together to the high school.
Kari watched her brother leave with Matt. She frowned, something was wrong with Tai. He was hiding something.
"Everything okay?" TK asked and Kari turned to look at him. She nodded,
"I think it's just effecting him weird. You know, us being back and all. Not to mention the digimon not being here. He just needs to adjust." She said softly. TK put a hand on her shoulder,
"And us kissing?" Kari felt her cheeks warm.
"I'm not sure." She admitted. She started walking to class and TK fell in step with her.
"You're not sure? I thought we were caught!" Kari put a hand on his arm stopping him.
"No but maybe we should talk about that." TK became serious and looked at Kari waiting for her to continue.
"I know we said it was just a kiss." TK shook his head stopping Kari.
"No you said it was just a kiss. I on the other hand said so long as Tai didn't tear me limb from limb I'd take the beating." He smirked and Kari smiled at him.
"Maybe I was protecting you." She said while looking at the ground. The bell rang and Kari looked into TK's eyes. He scrunched his face and then sighed defeated.
"Saved by the bell Miss Kamiya. But we will return to this topic at lunch." Kari smirked and then felt TK was very close to her. She looked up seeing TK's forehead was nearly touching hers.
"With you, it could never be just a kiss." Kari felt his warmth and closed her eyes.
"Come on Kar, we're late!" Suddenly TK backed away and was walking to the building. Kari felt embarrassed and annoyed she pursued her lips and stared at TK's back. TK stopped and looked at her. Kari crossed her arms playfully. TK winked,
"Come on Kamiya!" He ordered and Kari huffed and followed TK to class.
As the bell rang for lunch Kari felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She quickly pulled out her mobile and went out into the hall. Students filed out of the classrooms and Kari plugged her ear as she answered
"Hello?"
"Kar, you feeling okay?" Kari relaxed her shoulders at her brothers voice. She smiled,
"Yes Tai I'm fine. How are you and the others? Is Mei there?" She was worried about Meiko, after getting Meicoomon back, Meicoomon along with the others were all sent back to the digital world, Kari couldn't imagine how devastated Mei must be feeling.
"She's here. She seems okay. But I need to ask you something." Kari moved the phone from her left ear to her right.
"What's up Tai?" She asked. Tai sighed,
"Is TK with you?" Kari turned to face the hallway. She spotted TK making his was towards her. She waved at him and then spoke into her phone.
"Yeah he's here."
"I need to know if you remember Davis?" Kari squinted. TK stood in front of Kari and she gently grabbed on the front of his jacket getting his attention,
"What?! Tai of course-" she stopped and looked up at TK.
"You remember Davis right?" Kari addressed TK who frowned,
"You mean the guy that's been hitting on you since grade school?" Kari smirked and nodded then focused on her conversation with her brother.
"Yes Tai we remember Davis. He plays soccer with you. He goes to my school."
"No, Kar, do you remember him and the digital world." Kari's lips parted she was confused, what did Davis have to do with the digital world? Kari quieted her voice and TK moved closer,
"The digital world? Was Davis in the digital world?" Tai groaned,
"This is wrong. Kari I think I'm gonna come get you and TK." Kari was confused by her brothers sudden concern,
"No wait, what? Tai don't come TK and I are fine. Tai we won, I'm getting worried about you." Kari was really concerned about her brother.
"No I'm sorry. Just can you do something for me?" Kari nodded then spoke,
"Of course."
"Stay with TK okay? I don't think this is over. Just stay with TK and find Davis. Invite him to hang out after school. We'll need Yolie and Cody as well." Kari looked to TK who was anxiously waiting for her to get off the phone.
"Who? Yolie and Cody? who are they?" TK gestured something and Kari looked at him to speak.
"I know a Yolie and Cody. Yolie's a year older and Cody's a year younger or maybe two. They live in my building." Just as TK finished Kari heard Tai on the phone,
"TK should know them." Kari was caught between her phone and TK. She decided to address her brother.
"Okay. TK just said that. What should we do? Stay here or invite them over?"
"Just hang out at the school. The rest of us will come to you. I'll get in touch with Joe as well." Kari nodded.
"Okay. Tai?"
"Yeah Kar.
"You promise you're okay?" Tai was quiet a moment and Kari bit her lip.
"Always kiddo. Don't worry about me. I'll see you after school." The line ended and Kari pulled her phone away and slowly closed it.
"What's going on?" TK asked and Kari appreciated having him close.
"We need to get Davis, Yolie and Cody. Tai wants us to invite them to hang out after school. He said he and the others would meet us here after school. TK scrunched his face,
"Why those three?" Kari shrugged,
"I think they have some connection to the digital world." She stopped biting her lip.
"I'm worried TK. Something doesn't feel right." Kari confessed. TK started rubbing her arm. He stepped closer and Kari was reminded of their moment in the digital world,
"Thank you for being here." Kari stated lamely. She appreciated his comfort when she felt Tai was ignoring her in the digital world. She blushed at the memory of the kiss they shared.
"What?" TK asked amused and Kari shook her head,
"Nothing. We should find Davis and Yolie and Cody. Ask them to hang out." TK nodded and then gently grabbed Kari's hand.
"We should. But we also have a conversation to finish." He said in a low voice. Kari wanted to stay where she was with TK so close. She thought of her brother and the Digimon and found the strength to pull herself from TK.
"We will. But I want to help Tai. I feel somethings wrong." TK wrapped his arms around her and Kari invited the warmth of his embrace.
"Okay lets move." He agreed and he backed away but not before taking Karis hand in his own.
"I think Yolie hangs out in the computer lab." TK informed. Kari smirked,
"Sounds like Izzy." TK chuckled,
"Davis should be outside on the field." Kari smirked again and nodded,
"Sounds like Tai."
"And I have no idea about Cody but Yolie might know. I see them walk together to school in the mornings." Kari squeezed TK's hand and nodded,
"Maybe we should go get Davis first. We're close to the exit." Kari pointed. TK nodded,
"Davis it is." He announced and the two made their way out to the field.
